"Are You Jimmy Ray?" is a song by British pop singer Jimmy Ray. It was released in February 1998 as the lead single from his 1998 self-titled debut album. The single entered the US Billboard Pop Songs chart on March 7, 1998 and eventually peaked at number 10. The song peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It has been Jimmy Ray's most popular single to date.
A music video went into heavy rotation on music television. The video juxtaposed Ray's rockabilly image with a trailer park setting as stereotypical "rap video" women in sports jerseys and football shorts danced behind him.
